“Filipino maid jailed in HK”

This year 2011, a news report was reported by the South China Morning Post about a Philippine maid abusing a child under her care.

    She witnessed him behaving in a manner that was unacceptable by her standards and addressed it immediately to stop the behavior. The mother at first was demonized by the media for beating her child and physically abusing him. When the public started responding with heralds such as “mother of the year” and “bring out the mothers”, it reinforced the mindset of the appropriate level of discipline for the situation. In reality this mother saved her child from probable arrest and even possible injury or death. When ABC News interviewed the sixteen year old he admitted he knew what he was doing was wrong, and his mother punished him because she loves him and did not want to see him harmed, arrested, or even killed.…

Before she committed this tragic event, Hannah left behind thirteen recorded messages that explained the thirteen reasons to why she killed herself; the reasons to why she was driven over the edge. Each of these messages were copied to tapes, each side of the tape was directed towards one specific person in which caused one of the reasons. The tapes went in order, from the beginning of Hannah's problems, to the end. Hannah mailed the tapes to the first person the day she ended her life.

    I, personally, only have firsthand knowledge of familial and friendly love. From these experiences, I have learnt that love is when my mom hugs me after a bad day, love is when my best friend and I spend seven hours talking on the phone, love is when my brother and I burst out laughing in the middle of a fight. Meanwhile, although, I have no idea what it feels like to be ‘in love’ with someone, I know it’s love when my dad cooks my mom’s favorite meal when she’s sick or when my grandpa paints my grandma’s toenails because she can no longer bend over due to her arthritis. In more general terms, I feel…

    I was raised by both of my parents in America after we legally travelled from Malaysia. While my father worked a full time job, my mother stayed home and looked after me. At a young age, I had a large portion of the day with just my mother. I was never a neglected child. She taught me to always carry a smile and to look at the positives in life instead of fretting about the negatives. When I was bored, she would stop her daily chores and watch television with me. If I complained of starvation, she would immediately cook or take me out for food. When I was sick, she took care of me and stayed up all night in case of any bad changes. If I wanted a new toy, she would nag about how hard it is to earn money but she will always end up buying it for me. I didn’t realize at the time, but in my heart, she was already an irreplaceable mother.…
